Steve had stopped crying in earnest, but a silvery tear slid down his nose as he tried to forget the impossibility of them. Though his cheeks were wet and his eyes glassy, he was slowly finding his footing again. Bucky’s hand snuck beneath the untucked hem of Steve’s shirt, his large palm fitting easily around the curve of Steve’s bare waist, and Steve failed to suppress a shudder. Bucky curled his arm even farther around Steve’s body, then – his fingers slotting easily inside the shallow valleys between his ribs, his nose tucking into the juncture of Steve’s neck and shoulder, the wetness on his face transferring to Steve’s exposed skin – and Steve sniffled again; for a different reason, this time. Steve raised both his hands to rest on Bucky’s cheeks, drawing him away from Steve’s throat so he could get a proper look at him again. His eyes were a crystalline blue, shimmering with tears and reddened with crying, and Steve just had to kiss him. It was something gentle, something slow and almost-chaste. Steve exhaled a soft sigh of relief into the kiss, relief to have this opportunity, to have one more chance, to be able to kiss Bucky again before Steve finally punched his ticket.

Gifset I just reblogged got me thinking.. What would’ve happened if Steve had been the one to get dusted instead of Bucky?
Like. Imagine Bucky taking up the mantle of Captain America during those 5 years as a way to give the world some much needed hope. But there’s also that big part of him that’s simply doing it for himself—to feel as close as he can to Steve, in any way he can. Plus, if he were to stop moving and allow himself a moment, he’d surely break apart. And he can’t have that. He can’t. But then, when everyone is finally brought back, Bucky gives the title back to Steve, only for Steve to promptly give the title to Sam. And then, much to Bucky’s joy, Steve chooses to retire with him (instead of some dumb ooc decision to stay in the past)
Are there fics of this? I feel like there should be fics of this

Orpheus & Eurydice || Steve & Bucky
Moodboard for the @wintershieldbingo
Square: Mythology AU ✔️
I've always felt that the story of Steve and Bucky, particularly as told in Captain America: The First Avenger, had a lot in common with the Ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. For that reason, I have chosen to fill the Mythology AU square on my Wintershield Bingo card by creating a moodboard to draw narrative and visuals parallels between these two tragic love stories.
Orpheus & Eurydice
Orpheus was an artist, the greatest lyre player in the world, who was happily married to the love of his life, the beautiful Eurydice. Their happy life together gets cut short, however, when Eurydice is bitten by a viper and dies, leaving a heartbroken Orpheus behind. Orpheus cannot accept his true love’s death, and so he travels to the Underworld on a quest to get Eurydice back.
Orpheus manages to overcome various hurdles, such as getting past Cerberus, the three-headed hound who guards the gates to the Underworld, and finally pleads with Hades, the king of the Underworld to let Eurydice live again. Hades allows this on one condition: Eurydice is to follow behind Orpheus while walking out of the darkness of the Underworld towards the light of the land of the living, but Orpheus should not turn to look at her before she is fully out in the light again. However, as they begin to ascend towards the land of the living, Orpheus, afraid that his lover is no longer behind him, looks back to make sure she is following, causing Eurydice to tragically fall back into the shadows and be trapped in the Underworld once more.
Steve Rogers & Bucky Barnes
Steve and Bucky are very close friends and most likely even lovers, who live a mostly happy life together in Brooklyn. When World War II breaks out, Bucky is drafted and joins the army, while Steve stays behind in New York. In Italy, Bucky's squad is taken by the enemy, and he is kept prisoner in a dark, abandoned factory housing the lab of Hydra (incidentally also a multi-headed beast from Greek mythology).
When Steve, who received a superserum which turned him into the world's greatest soldier (as well as an artist), eventually also joins the army and gets to Italy, he is told Bucky is most likely dead. Steve point blank refuses to accept that, and embarks on a one man rescue mission - a quest, if you will - to get Bucky back. Armed with a wooden shield, the shape of which bears a similarity to a lyre, overcomes numerous obstacles, fighting Hydra goons and even Red Skull, who looks like the devil incarnate. Steve manages to free Bucky and even jumps over what strongly resembles the fiery pits of hell to get to freedom, only to lose Bucky again a short while later, when Bucky tragically falls from a train and is subsumed once more into the Underworld, i.e. Hydra’s claws.
Aside from the many narrative parallels, many visual parallels also exist between depictions of Orpheus and Eurydice in classical art and various scenes and images in CA:TFA. The moodboard above attempts to illustrate these parallels and similarities.

I'm so very tamed now .part 2
Part 1. Part 3. Masterlist.
A/N : don't know what took me so long to make a part 2 ( just life I guess)but her you go lovelies, sorry for the delay.
Pairing: mafia stucky x spy reader.(poly)
Summary: Bucky finally gets the information our of you, but you both manage piss steve off even more, so you have to deal with the consequences .
Warnning :poly stucky dom steve, bratty Bucky, sub reader , self proclaimed brat tamer Bucky,edging, spanking, angy steve 😡, a few tears. No beta reader. 18+ under the cut. Minors dni.
Bucky has you all spread out on his bed, hands cuffed to the bed, completely naked , completely at his mercy.
"are you gonna do something barnes or are you just gonna stare at me all day " you ask him mockingly.
"oh you'll see sweets." He says with a wicked grin, as he pulls out your favourite vibrator and before he pushes it into you , turning it up to the highest setting.
"ughh Bucky." You moan not being able to control your pleasure.
"see pretty girl, I don't have much time , steve is already annoyed so you better tell me everything." He asks as he tries not to palm himself at the sight of your but he couldn't resist he takes out his already hard cock and starts jerking off in front of you, adding to your pleasure.
"or -ughh - or what barnes?" You manage to say in between moans.
"or I'm gonna keep making ya cum until you can't." Your eyes widen at that.
"you see last time I edged ya ,it didn't turn out well so now I'm gonna make try something different." You came instantly as he said that.
"see that's my good girlz we'll see how long you can keep going before giving in." He said as hmm.
Five orgasms later , you still wouldn't budge.
"see I'm almost getting bored ,just spit it out already, the vibrator's battery is gonna die"
"that's all you got?" You challenged him but you were in the verge of giving up.
"fine , I'll do this my way." Bucky said as he pulled the vibrator away from you, looking at your wet pussy.
"see my poor pussy can't take it , she's exhausted.." he cooed as he collected some of your cum with his fingers and sucked them.
"don't tell me what I can take barnes."
"if you insist sweets." Bucky suddenly fills you up with his cock and starts pounding into you, lifting your legs and throwing them over his shoulders. You both moan, and grunt.
"now you better tell me sweets , who do you work for?" He asks as he fucks you into oblivion.
"ughh Bucky ... I'm gonna ." You said as you reached your high.
"me too angel, me too, now why don't you tell me ,so we can both come together ." You were about to give in Bucky knew, you just needed a little push.
"you know steve is gonna be very mad at me, if I don't get the information Outta you after all this trouble...so please tell me sweets,I swear I'll stay right by you whatever it is."
"fine fine...i ughh work for stark, stark sent me " you finally spit out the truth.
Just then steve came barging in the door, " steve i found the information, she works for..." Bucky was about to say .
"stark i know" steve finished his sentence" i just met him. " Not impressed by Bucky.
"well I just got the information Outta her, see i told you my tactics never fail." Steve rolled his eyes at Bucky's answers, although he was certainly aroused by the scene in front of him,you begging Bucky to let you cum.
"well of course I'll let you cum sweets, daddy is having a conversation right now wait a minute" the brunette man told you.
"stop being such a whore buck" steve yelled at him.
"you know you damn well you love it steve, infact i know you're enjoying our doll begging to cum right now" while you were still whimpering begging Bucky to cum.
Steve was definitely aroused by the sight in front of him but tried to keep his composure.
"shut up Bucky, she's being a brat and you're defending her." Steve said.
"she is brat and I'm not defending her , I'm punishing her can't you see?" Bucky asks
"damn well you are, look at her ,not one ounce of regret in her face,you're not making her realise anything,you're just giving in to her bratiness."
"daddy please lemme cum" you beg him with doe eyes, Bucky is still in you , you try to fuck yourself on him, lifting your hips. "Just a minute sweets" Bucky says.
"no get off of her" steve says angrily.
"what the hell steve" but steve pushes Bucky aside before he could finish his sentence.
"I'm gonna show her what real punishment is and make her realise what she has really done to us, how much she's hurt us, so stop coddling her and move buck" steve says as he takes off his clothes.
"stevie.." you whimper as Bucky's thick cock is removed from your heat.
"shh shut up you brat ,you only call me sir from now, understood?" Steve said giving a hard spank to your dripping pussy making me moan.
"yes sir" steve flips you onto your stomach, you were waiting nervously as to what he was gonna do.
"now I'm gonna spank you properly you brat and you're gonna take it like a good slut and thank me alright " he says
"yes sir." All while Bucky watched the scene unfold in front of him, he knew you were in big trouble now but he enjoyed it at the same time.
"good girl do what daddy steve says " Bucky said .
Steve gave his first spank it was real, unlike the playful ones Bucky gave you, it stung almost leaving an impression.
"thank you sir." I say. *He spanks again.
"thank you sir"
*spank
*th thank you sir."
After 10 spanks , Steve stops leaving your bottom so red and your pussy dripping.
"you did so good doll taking your punishment like a good girl" Bucky said patting your head.
"thanks daddy" you manage to whimper.
"your punishment is not over yet brat." Steve says with a stern look.
"but.."
"no buts get on your knees .."
You do as he says, steve roughly grabs your hips and thrusts his hard cock in you, making you moan. "Ahh daddy.." steve pulled out immediately,and spanked you again." What did I tell you to call me you brat.."
"sir?"
"yes and you'll only call me sir from now, no stevie, no daddy understood?" He said slapping my ass again.
"yes sir"
Bucky thought he was being a little too harsh on you. "Oh come on steve she just called you daddy she -" Bucky started to reason .
"you shut up punk or youre gonna be punished next." Steve said and went to sinking his cock back into your dripping cunt in one swift motion.
"ohh yess sir please-" you moaned
"please what you little slut?" Steve asked pounding into you ,making the bed shake, Bucky was happily jerking off to it at this point, knowing trying to defend you was pointless and that would only get you into more trouble, plus he knew steve would never hurt you,no matter how mad he was , he was only doing this because he was deeply hurt by your betrayal.
"please sir, fuck me, please don't stop." You pleaded .
"and why would I listen to you?" The blonde said.
"because...because..."
"because what ?" He said slamming his hips into you.
"because I love you and ...Bucky i uh-" tears we're streaming down your face at this point, both from the pleasure and the guilt of the whole situation,you knew you hurt steve and pushed him to this point.
Steve laughed mockingly. "Really you love- you love us? Don't lie you little slut" steve was about to cum but he contained himself not giving you the satisfaction.
"I'm not lying...i really, really love you both. I'm sorry about everything." A million things were going on Steve's mind.
Just then Steve's phone rang, he picked it up from the night stand while still in you.
"hmm alright I'll be there-" he spoke into the phone. He pulled out of you, leaving you whimpering.
"what happened baby?" Bucky asked , knowing something was wrong.
"nothing it's uh- take her to the safehouse right now, I'll go take care of some things."
Bucky knew better than to argue with steve at times like these so he only nodded.
Steve left the room, Bucky gently cleaned you up, while you were still getting out of the haze. "Pack your things baby." He said as he pressed a kiss to your forehead.
"what's going on?" You finally decide to ask
"stevie's orders ,don't ask any questions for a while." He said .
And you complied, going on to pack some of your stuff ,but you had a pretty good idea of what's going on, you took your pistol from the hidden cabinet in your bathroom just in case .

please look at me like that
summery: your feelings got the best of you and you ended up emailing a lot of people to go out on a date with you. only the super soldiers responded and so you have a fake date with them. but was it really a fake date or was it just denial?
pairings: steve rogers x reader x bucky barnes (modern au)
warnings: ANGST CITY, LOADS OF FLUFF, lots of insecurity, clingy!bucky and jealous!steve (they are so much of a warning), implied smut but not really, lack of self-care
A/N: this is my first mini series. i am thrilled about this. i haven't been doing well with my love life which inspired this. i am not as bold as written so here's hoping for a positive love life outcome. i loved this idea and i was thinking of picking only one of them but i couldn't. i love them both equally.
this series is open for requests and may have future drabbles:
leading up to the date
the date
after the date

There's No Cure for Love
Stucky • Doctor Steve + Patient Bucky • Modern AU • Longfic WIP
The day has finally, finally come. I set out to start this fic after finishing Aster last year, and I brainstormed all summer and into the fall. I've never planned harder for a single story, but what's even crazier is I originally had ideas for this in 2022 and expanded that in 2023. Currently, I have 12k worth of notes alone, which means there's no telling how long this will end up. It'll be a WIP for the foreseeable future and my #1 priority because it's overtaken my brain tenfold.
Now, I am not a medical professional. I've done countless medical research for this (still am) but there will be some levels of fiction because of the doctor/patient relationship. Bucky's disease/illness is made up, and obviously we're gonna have him and Steve making out in a hospital room at some point and more, so... 😘
🩺 Summary 🩺
Bucky leads a luxurious but troubled lifestyle. Despite the wealth and power of a state senator and a real estate billionaire, Bucky is always one hospital stay away from death. Doctors are evil. Hospitals send him into a panic attack. Nobody knows what might be wrong with him. His body is broken.
Former emergency physician turned pulmonologist, Steve spends his days between the hospital and the assisted-living facility where his Ma resides. He has a network of work colleges, countless lives to save, and enough nightmares to keep him awake at night. One lapse of concentration, one false decision, can mean the difference between life and death.
Little do they know, their paths will soon cross.
But will Steve be able to save Bucky from his unexplainable illnesses?

There's just so many interesting ways to explore Bucky relearning how to be a person again because it would/should have been a process.
Losing parts of yourself is such an easy thing to do.
Someone says you're stupid enough times, and then you start to wonder if you are.
Someone comments on the size of your nose enough, and then you start to think it's big.
Someone treats you like you're worthless, and then you start to think you are.
They wouldn't have treated him like a human. They wouldn't even need to break him, just treat him like a thing, and eventually, he'll start to wonder if he is.
They don't talk or listen to him because things can't talk. They ignore his questions and begging. They ignore his cries and screams.
Is he even making them? Can they hear him.
They don't worry if he bleeds. Things don't bleed.
Is he even bleeding anymore? Is it just in his head?
They don't call him by his name. Things don't have names.
What was his name again?
They don't feed him real food. Things don't get hungry.
He doesn't feel hungry anymore.
They don't have a set schedule for him. Things don't care about the passage of time.
What day is it? How long as he been here?
They don't care if he hurts. Things can't hurt.
Maybe he doesn't hurt? Maybe this is normal and he's just confused. He's always confused now.
They say maintenance and maintain and fix.
You don't do those things to people. So he's not a person, right? He can't be if that's what they're doing to him.
People have names.
Right? Did it ever have one? Even if it did, who would have used it?
No, it never had a human name. It was created, crafted.
No one worries if their gun is hungry, or if their knife is trying to communicate with them, or if their tool is tired.
Those things are not for it.
And then you've got this guy, out of nowhere, who knows you.
Who says a name and is looking at you while he says it.
He's talking to you like you can speak back, like he wants you to speak back.
And it's confusing, so confusing, because why does the man think it is a person?
It gets more confused after a few days on its own because why is it suddenly needing human maintenance?
Its stomach aches, and it knows the ache is hunger. Why does it know that?
The man finds it.
It is a relief in a way. It requires attention and repairs.
It tells the man that it is malfunctioning.
The man says that he is hurt
...but things don't hurt. It needs repair.
Healing the man says.
Things don't heal though.
It starts to shut off more.
Sleeping the man says. You need to sleep.
The bed is for people. It sleeps in the ice. If it must rest, then it rests on the floor.
The man is quiet angry and he takes a long walk.
The man is not Hydra. He gets angry when it asks about previous handlers.
It requires a handler, though, an owner. Things are not free.
So, the man must be its handler, even if he is not Hydra.
Things must be maintained, and to be maintained, they must belong to someone.
The man calls him Bucky, always says Bucky when it calls itself it.
Fine. It will answer to the name Bucky if the man requests so.
Things don't have names, and things don't want them, but Bucky is a nice name if it must have one.
The man makes it do human things.
It must eat and drink. They start small because if it eats certain things, then it malfunctions, and the man gets upset.
It must sleep, or try to, each night. There is no ice, just blankets. It is given several of them since it maintains that it must sleep on the floor. It doesn't know what to do with them. The man eventually lays them out in a way that he deems comfortable.
The blankets are... nice. Warm.
It did not know it was cold.
The man speaks to it and listens. It doesn't know what to say, it has never been given attention like this.
The man introduces other people, and it makes sure to remember them because these people seem important to the man.
Sam.
Natasha.
Tony.
And it must remember the man is called Steve.
Tony is odd.
Tony does not like it. That is fine. Things don't care if they are liked or not.
Steve and Tony argue about it on the other side of the room, but it acts like it does not hear them.
Tony wants to see all its information.
It had not knows Steve had all of its protocols and maintenance information.
Steve agrees and Tony leaves.
Tony comes back after a few days. The anger is still on him, but it's different. He looks at its arm and says it needs maintenance.
Finally.
Tony will be able to help Steve understand that it does not require human maintenance.
Tony does not tell Steve this.
He looks at it for awhile when it asks if he will help Steve understand that it is not a person.
Things don't ask questions. It should not have spoken. It is malfunctioning.
Tony goes back to the arm without answering, and that's fine. People don't talk to things. They talk at them.
Steve's human maintenance has caused it to start malfunctioning.
Tony calls it Bucky, too.
They're both terrible at this.
It keeps malfunctioning.
It keeps asking questions. Why? It can't stop itself.
It likes the blankets.
It doesn't know if it has liked things before. The blankets are soft and warm, and it likes to touch them.
It does not like cold now that it knows that it is always cold.
Steve brings it blankets often after he realizes how much it likes them.
These people touch it a lot.
Tony touches it while he does maintenance. This maintenance does not hurt, and the arm doesn't hurt malfunction as often.
Tony plays music and talks a lot. He has little robots that are strange and clearly malfunctioning, but he does not take corrective steps. Instead, he allows the malfunctions, maybe even seems to enjoy them.
Maybe it likes this... maintenance... like it likes the blanket.
The woman Natasha, that's not her name... is it? touches it. She does maintenance braids she calls them on its hair. She is confident when she touches it, but she also makes her movements clear.
Why does she do that for it? Things don't need to know what someone will do to it. It is... nice. It thinks it likes this too.
Sam touches it. He talks to it a lot, too. He is purposeful but makes sure to touch it each time he comes to visit.
He wants it to speak back. He encourages it to speak more than he wants to speak himself. He is patient, even when it is not able to make the words come out right.
It likes this... having someone listen.
They bring more people.
A man, Clint, with sharp eyes who jokes with it, tries to make it laugh.
Clint is a marksman and very skilled. He takes it with him when he goes to train. He insists they have competitions and there are no punishments when it does not perform to or exceed expectations.
Sometimes, he brings small pieces of candy for them to share, and he winks like it's a secret just between them.
Things don't smile... but it feels like something inside of it is smiling.
There's another man, Bruce, quiet and careful. Something about him gives an air of power, but he is gentle. A scientist, more than Tony, and he makes it... nervous? No, not nervous. Things don't get nervous.
The man looks over it like it is human, asking it if anything hurts like it is a person.
It tells him where it is damaged, even though it is fully operational.
If it is fully operational, then the damage does not require maintenance. It did not need to tell him. Things don't hurt.... why did it tell him where it hurt?
Thor is loud and big. He smells like rain, and it likes that. It did not know it liked the smell of rain.
Thor is not scared of it. He does not worry about a malfunction, and he seems to have no expectations on it or what it might have been.
He does not lower his voice around it, and he even does a sort of roughhousing with it at times, although Steve hovers nervously whenever that happens. He claps it on the back and calls it friend like Steve does, and is it suppose to know this man too? It doesn't remember this man.
Things don't have memories, but... sometimes, it thinks it might.
It asks Steve about them sometimes, slow and quiet, because while Steve has not hurt it for remembering or asking questions, it knows remembering was bad.
Remembering means pain. Why does it know that?
Steve tells it about them. He says it had a family, sisters, and friends. He talks about them, and about the war and the howling commandos, and... oh, it is crying.
Things do not cry. It is malfunctioning.
They all call it Bucky.
They give it maintenance like it is a person.
They like when it likes things and even look happy when it decides that it does not like things.
They do not treat it as a thing... so maybe it isn't? Maybe... he's a person.
It refers to itself as he a few days later.
Tentative, and after a pause where it was hard to get the word out, he looks up carefully through his lashes because what if he's wrong? What if this was a test and what if they wanted to get him to think this way just to take it away an-
They are happy.
Steve is very happy and he likes it when Steve is happy.
He likes it when they are all happy.
There are bad days when he does not think he is a person and thinks they're playing a terrible game with him.
They're being cruel. They have to be because he's not a person.
If he's a person, then that means he's been a person this whole time and that Hydra took that away from him.
That means...
He's not there yet. He doesn't like to talk about things like that yet. It makes his head hurt, and he doesn't like that, and it's too much. He gets upset... because he is a person and people get upset.
That is still a strange thought to him, that he's human.
He tells Steve about things he remembers. He has questions, and he's getting better at asking them without tripping over his words or stopping halfway through.
He has a bed with lots of blankets.
He has food and books and music that he likes.
He has a big marker he can write his name on things with. He's still scared all of it is going to be taken away from him, but if his name is Bucky and if he's a person, then his name on things means that those things are his.
Right? He had to ask to make sure, but they all said that was right. He likes putting his name on things.
He likes having things.
He likes to take the drawings Steve makes and always gives to him. He likes that Sam brings him little things whenever he goes somewhere. Sometimes, it's pins, or buttons or pretty pieces of paper.
He likes small screws from Tony's lab, pens Bruce leaves laying around, hair ties from Natasha, pop tart wraps that Thor drops, and the heads of arrows that Clint loses.
He likes that he's remembering more and more. He likes remembering that he's always liked things. Like dancing, and records, and laughing, and Steve.
